Lovely, friendly, helpful staff. Good wholesome home cooking. Great breakfasts. Stayed in the Red Room. A bit dark, but clean and comfortable. Lovely grounds and pool. Peaceful and serene. The massage was amazing! If staying more than a couple of days, would recommend car hire so that you can explore further afield.Relaxed and welcoming and ideal for families.

dear Guest, Thank you for your kind words, happy to see that you had a nice experience at Baoussala ! Concerning the rental car, it is true that you have more freedom to discover the area, but if not, we can also work with taxi for a reasonable price ! hope to see you again soon in Baoussala,

Magnificient place. Terrific details. Pure air and materials. Great Hamam and swimmingpool and garden -no gardens!..! Lovely service, pure nature. Everything was so beautiful. So sorry to see hardly any Moroccans only Europeans. But the place is very affordable for European standards, perhaps not for Moroccan standards. But no - there are many that can afford it, perhaps they do...

Thank you for your kind words, it is pleasant to see that every details of Baoussala seduced you ! step by step more moroccan guests are coming to Baoussala and enjoy our nature and "back to the roots" identity and it is really enjoyable to share our love for morocco and their culture with them !

If you step inside the walls, you enter a really nice, relaxed, beautiful place.The Baoussala staff is very friendly and nice. We loved the typically Moroccan meals prepared by Loubna. Our 2 kids (4 and 6) had a wonderful time playing in the pool, the garden and with the 2 dogs and cat.

Dear Ataa,
thank you for your kind words, we were also very pleased to receive your lovely family ! if ever you come back one day to Morocco we will be pleased to receive you again !

This was our second time staying at Baoussala and, yet again, delivered the desired serenity and relaxation that is such a contrast to our hectic working lives in the UK. Its charm derives from so much more than simply the buildings and grounds. The staff are incredibly welcoming and entirely genuine; no fake smiles here and everyone is refreshingly down...

Dear Chris,
so nice to read your review, it looks that you had an amazing time in Baoussala and we are really happy for you ! at only 3h30 flight from London you should come back to us really soon !!

This is the second time we are staying here. This place is so lovely! We originally planned on spending 2 nights and ended up staying 4 (would have stayed even longer but all the rooms were booked). Dominique and her team are amazing and ever so family friendly. We will be back for sure!

dominiquebaoussala, Directeur général at Riad Baoussala, responded to this review

Dear Flavia,
This is often that people come for only one night and stay a week ( if we have space ! ) it is a really good sign, and it means that it is the perfect place for them for holidays ! hope to see you again soon !!

We stayed here for 4 nights in April. Léah & Dominique and their entire team are great hosts! The lay-out of the hotel and gardens, and the interior design is fantastic, with the use of authentic materials. We had a very nice Hamam and a massage and lovely lunches by the pool. We had dinner every night in the lounge....

Thank you for your spontaneous review !
It is true that if people has the budget to rent a car during their stay in Baoussala (28€/day) it offers a lot of freedom to discover the area, the beautiful wild beaches of SidiKaouki, the berber villages... but we can also organise taxi trip really easily as well ! hope to see...

This place is great. Friendly, helpful, great food.
No real choice what you eat which we liked.
No tV
No phones

Lovely pool
Peaceful
Great for children.
But you need to understand that you should be respectful of others. We had some annoying loud people (Brits unfortunately) who behaved as if they owned the place and it is...
